"Oh, before we go I want to tell you a really funny story," Lawrence says. And I think that, in a way, that's all that public speaking is: it's just standing up and telling people your stories. And maybe the trick in life is just finding the people you want to tell your stories to? And finding people who want to listen to your stories and tell you theirs, too? . . ."Ha!" I hear around the table . . no one can stop laughing, and then neither can I. I think, through all the laughter, in addition to finding people who will listen to your stories, and who will tell you theirs, the gravy in all of that, the cherry on the ice cream, is that some of those people will make you laugh too."
